My mother is a elementary school teacher. Children learn to add and subract fractions starting in 3rd grade. More complex things like fractorization start about 6th grade.

Factorization is usually done in Algebra 1 classes (depending on school and level usually grades 7--9). It's usually taught in conjunction with learning about the distributive property and as a foundation for moving on into higher level algebra (quadratic equations, etc)

You can actually do "factorization", at least on numbers, as early as you learn multiplication and division. For example, 12 can be broken up in the factors 2 and 6, or 3 and 4, or 1 and 12. I remember doing excercises in grammar school where we'd write out the factors for a number from lowest to highest, then draw curves connecting each number to its corresponding factor that together made the product. So it would actually end up looking something like a rainbow.
In algebra, "factorization" basically refers to using the distributive rule in reverse, where you "factor out" like factors of terms. For example, 9xz + 12x can be factored as 3x(3z + 4).

Usually in pre algebra or algebra 1...could be any time from 6th grade to 10th grade.
Factoring is what the evil twin of the distribution fairy does...gathers up every factor that terms have in common and dumps them outside the parenthesis.

You learn factorization in about 6th grade and it isn't necessarily a type of algebra

It should be your basic Algebra class like Algebra I. Factorization is very easy.

6th grade. They made us factor simple numbers. I started factoring functions until 9th or 10th grade.

5th or 6th grade. It is a preamble to learning Algebra, etc...

well, i'm in 8th grade and i took it last year. algebra I. but i am in what they call "PA" math, so really most people take around Freshman year
